We aren't being replaced. We're being promoted.

AI = action layer (HOW to execute)
Humans = alignment layer (WHY it matters)

From optimization to steering civilization.

The choices we make now determine what becomes inevitable.

吝 The Symbiotic Blueprint: Intelligence, Entropy, and Economics

In this urgent deep dive, hosts explore The Last Economy by Emad Mostaque, examining how artificial intelligence is shattering our economic foundations in a thousand-day window. Blending physics, history, and visionary thinking, they ask: What happens when intelligence becomes infinite and cheap? And how do we choose a future where humans and AI thrive together?

It looked like the grid had finally reached it's limit with the latest heat wave. It was the worst in a chain of ever higher ones. Each one placing a greater strain on the city grid as people tried to cool off. Would the power come back this time?

They cracked the windows, letting the hot, smoggy, night air drift in, the heat causing their skin to prickle, the humidity making their lungs to gasp. If this was what we had been left then so be it. The neighbors had been starting to help each other setup solar charging points on the roof and balconies which should allow the most vulnerable along them in the building to keep their life saving equipment running through the night and run small fans for everyone during the day. They had it better than most. A stable job, though it paid far too little, at the RoboCorp factory and a roof over their heads that was owned by all the tenets outright, not some scumbag landlord.

Gov Pritzker's State of the State / "What Comes Next" speech today was (3 minutes of it) featured on Maddow, and it was excellent.

I think this video is the entire speech, but it's cued up to a particularly salient passage, where he talks about Nazis.

“Thanks to Ukrainians, the international legal order is sustained. It depends on the principle that borders are inviolable, which they are defending... Should Americans choose to weaken Ukraine, this will change quickly. And Ukraine is deterring China from offensive actions in the Pacific Ocean by showing how difficult such operations are.”

In the vein of a previous post of mine, I wrote the code to generate the outputs (rather than me doing them by hand and screwing it up 😊 )

only this time, here's my main

public static void main(final String[] args)
{
int base = 2;
for (int i=20; i<=40; i++)
{
final IntegerInBase iib = new IntegerInBase(base);
System.out.println(iib.getStringRepresentationOf(i));
base++;
}
}

This mood. My #CassandraEffect sometimes feels like a steamroller, just flattening every effort I make. Until I realize that my job isn’t to be loud and noisy, but to cultivate solidity so I can be strong for you all, and the people IRL, so… I live with it. I can live with it. #stds9Reference #spirituality #gifts #WhatComesNext #Soon
